After breakfast, Chen An found a secluded spot. The surrounding vegetation wasn't tall, and the quiet and serene environment was perfect for cultivation.

She took out the "Heart-Cleansing Mantra," gazed into the distance for a while, and then slowly opened it. The contents seemed to have a magical power, absorbing all of Chen An's thoughts. He sat there for a whole day.

When I came to my senses, the moon was already high in the sky.

Chen An stretched lazily, feeling refreshed. As he inhaled, he was startled by a foul odor and frowned. When he realized the smell was coming from himself, Chen An felt that his training had not been in vain.

When cultivators are practicing, they cleanse themselves of impurities, especially at the beginning, which is common. After returning to her room, she took several showers to get rid of the smell.

In the following days, Chen An spent all his time cultivating except for eating, but due to his low talent, he was slow to reach the threshold of Foundation Establishment.

Seeing Chen An leaving early and returning late every day, Xue Shumo finally got a little anxious and also started cultivating.

A week later, while Xue Shumo was cultivating, a vortex of energy gathered above her head.

After sensing something was wrong, Gu Minglang pulled Chen An to stand guard in front of her room, fearing that something might happen to his junior sister during her breakthrough.

Elder Mingsan knew that with his disciple's talent, there would be no danger in him becoming a mid-stage cultivator in the Meridian Opening Realm, but he still rushed over out of concern.

He shoved Gu Minglang's head away from the crack in the door and pressed himself against the doorframe.

Gu Minglang muttered under his breath, "Master," and stood to the side, glaring indignantly at the door.

Chen An learned from Gu Minglang that Xue Shumo could only study for an hour a day at most. He was naturally happy for Xue Shumo for making such rapid progress, but he could not hide his own disappointment at not making any progress.

Soon, a gust of air scattered Chen An's neatly tied long hair. Xue Shumo succeeded in opening her meridians in just one attempt.

Seeing everyone genuinely happy, Chen An smiled too, completely forgetting his earlier disappointment.

After the celebration, Xue Shumo keenly realized that Chen An had not yet reached the Foundation Establishment stage. Remembering what her mother had said, she did not show much joy. She simply said a few words and then forcibly kicked out the beaming Ming San and Gu Minglang, who were grinning from ear to ear.

Chen An hummed a little tune as he pushed open his bedroom door.

Fu Gui, who was running around the room, heard the noise and rushed towards Chen An, climbing up her long robe.

In less than half a month, Fugui has grown to the size of an adult tabby cat, a far cry from its previous chubby appearance, but its round, fluffy head cannot hide its cuteness.

Chen An skillfully held Fu Gui in his arms and said with a smile, "Little Fu Gui, grow up quickly, grow up and protect me, okay?"

"Meow."

Hearing Fugui's shout, Chen An laughed out loud: "I'll take that as a yes."

"Meow."

"Okay, if you call out twice, I'll take that as you understanding."

"Meow meow."

Chen An lifted Fu Gui up with both hands, unable to believe that Fu Gui had become so intelligent so early: "Call out three times."

"Meow, meow, meow."

"Call four times."

Fu Gui looked into Chen An's eyes and thought, "Fine, don't believe me then." He then broke free from his restraints and ran to the cabinet.

Since the treasure he found can understand human speech so quickly, Chen An will never be lonely again.

"Succulent, if I do more tasks, will my cultivation speed be as fast as others?"

【Yes】

"Where's the mission?"

【None】

"Everyone else is worried about not being able to complete their tasks, what's wrong with you?"

I will try my best.

Chen An was speechless once again, so he simply sat down and started cultivating.

In less than half an incense stick's time, a small vortex also formed above Chen An's head, less than one-tenth the size of Xue Shumo's.

Just as Gu Minglang was getting sleepy, he sensed someone about to break through and hurriedly got out of bed, rushing upstairs. Xue Shumo also arrived at Chen An's door, quietly guarding the entrance, not daring to make a sound.

When Elder Mingsan sensed this aura, he initially thought it was some genius from a mountain causing a commotion. However, upon closer inspection, he discovered it was Chen An.

These days, he has witnessed Chen An's diligent cultivation, but he never imagined that Chen An could reach the Foundation Establishment stage so quickly.

Although this realm is the most basic for cultivators, for those with inferior spiritual roots, it can be considered a lifelong, unattainable goal.

Before he could even grab his wine jug, Mingsan immediately got up, but before he even left the room, the aura of his breakthrough vanished.

The two guards at Chen An's door were also taken aback. Such a rapid breakthrough was something even one in ten thousand geniuses couldn't achieve. Given Chen An's talent, he must have failed.

Sitting cross-legged on the bed, Chen An slowly opened her eyes as she felt the changes in her body. The sticky grime on her skin made her head ache. She held her breath and was about to go out to fetch water when a breeze brushed her cheek, instantly making her feel refreshed.

The arriving Ming San waved his hand to remove the impurities that Chen An had expelled during his breakthrough, and was overjoyed to see that Chen An had already reached the Foundation Establishment stage.

The other two looked even more surprised than Elder Mingsan. Recalling the pain that other people with lower-grade spiritual roots experienced when breaking through, Chen An was even more successful than them.

Cultivators on this continent are bound by the laws of heaven and earth, and breakthroughs inevitably involve tribulations. Chen An is an outsider, and the soul of this body is dead. She is not bound by these laws, and as long as her cultivation reaches the required level, she can break through directly. Faced with such a good thing, Chen An does not want others to know.

Gu Minglang and Xue Shumo didn't think much of it; they just thought Chen An was amazing. Ming San also assumed that Chen An had a natural talent and that he had inadvertently taken on a powerful disciple, thus getting a good deal.

After everyone celebrated and left, the system's voice rang out.

[Foundation Establishment Level 1 Rewards: Talent +50, Martial Power +500, Speed ​​+100, High-grade Spirit Stones +300, Array Stones +3, Mind Reading +5 uses, High-grade Pills +3, Low-grade Xuan Iron Sword +1, Cultivation Technique "Fire Control Technique" +1. Please claim these rewards as soon as possible. If not claimed, the rewards will expire within three days.]

After the system stopped responding, Chen An chuckled a few times; she was very satisfied with this reward.

"Is a talent level of 66.03 for a succulent considered a medium-level spiritual root?"

【Yes】

Chen An picked up Fu Gui, held it in his arms, hummed a few lines of a pop song, and then transferred all the rewards to the storage pouch given to him by Elder Ming San.

The next morning, Chen An opened his eyes to see a small face very close to him, glaring angrily at him. "You're finally awake. You were lying about your limp before, and now you're even faking your talent. Tell me honestly, who sent you?"

Pushing away the aggressive Xue Shumo, Chen An rubbed his eyes. He didn't know whether to call Xue Shumo's actions cautious or not.

Being ignored was something Xue Shumo couldn't stand: "What are you laughing at? Speak up." With a gentle push, Chen An was forced down onto the bed.

"Let go, I'm not an assassin or a bodyguard, I'm just your sixth senior sister who recovers quickly." Chen An patted Xue Shumo's arm to admit defeat.

Xue Shumo slowly released her grip and muttered, "The recovery was quick, is that all? You're not allowed to lie to me, or I won't let you off the hook."

"That's how it is." Chen An nodded solemnly to Xue Shumo.
